Expected Updates in the iPhone 17 Pro Models

The Apple event will be happening on 9th September, 2025, which will unveil 8 new Apple products. But we all know that the Apple iPhone 17 models will gain complete attention. Just like previously, we had a look at Apple iPhone 17e leaked specs; here are some iPhone 17 Pro expected updates to be announced. Let’s explore! 

Redesigned Appearance with New Colors

According to the rumours, the area around the Apple logo and the MagSafe charger will have glass. Besides this, the remaining area will be made of aluminium, ensuring durability, which means the iPhone is shifting from a titanium frame to an aluminum frame this time. 

Considering additional appearance upgrades, the iPhone 17 Pro models will retain the same dimensions as the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Not only this, but iPhone 17 Pro models are also expected to arrive in bolder colors such as dark blue and orange. But I am not sure if they are going to attract people or not because the traditional black, white, and gray variants look quite appealing. 

Upgraded Rear Camera Module and Specs

Talking of its appearance, the camera module is also expected to have a major change. The Apple iPhone camera modules are square, right? But not anymore. The iPhone 17 Pro models are going to have rectangular bars at the upper part of the rear side, but the triangular camera lens arrangement remains unchanged. 

Furthermore, the model is expected to arrive with the 48MP sensors for the telephoto lens and might offer up to 8x optical zoom.

Display Gets New Anti-Reflective Coating

The OLED display in the Apple iPhone 17 Pro models is expected to remain the same, but it will feature a new anti-reflective coating. This will make the device more resistant to scratches and drops. 

A New Chip For iPhone 17 Pro Models

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro models will be working on the A19 Pro chip built using TSMC’s latest 3-nanometer process. However, this will not have a dramatic performance jump compared to the previous A18 pro chip, but it is expected to be more efficient. 

Increased RAM

The RAM of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro models will be offering a jump from 8GB to 12GB. This will improve the performance and multitasking for the users. 

More Thicker Body

The iPhone 16 Pro has an 8.25mm thick body, but the iPhone 17 Pro will be upgraded to 8.725mm thickness. However, its thicker body is expected to offer a benefit in adding space for a large battery size. 

Upgraded Battery 

Apple, for the first time, is expected to use a larger battery offering 5000mAh, which means longer battery life for the iPhone 17 Pro models. Besides this, Qi 2.2 wireless charging, 25W charging speeds are some other updates. 

According to the leaked specs of iPhone 17, the battery size is expected to be different for models with and without SIM trays. Consider the following table to know more about the battery sizes:

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max without SIM card tray model is expected to have more than 5000 mAh battery for the first time in the iPhone history.

AI Features

Apple users are definitely looking for some advanced AI features in the upcoming iPhone 17 series this year. Just like people take advantage of Galaxy AI introduced by Samsung, it is now time to see if Apple introduces its custom AI model or not. 

Conclusion

To sum up, the Apple iPhone 17 series is all set to be introduced in the upcoming Apple event, and people are eagerly waiting to know the recent updates. However, the iPhone 17 Pro model is expected to have an upgraded design, a new chip, more thicker body, and an upgraded battery, etc, compared to its predecessor iPhone 16 Pro.
